// Problem We Solve

One Broken Part Shouldn't End a Machine

A snapped shaft, a cracked housing, a stripped gear — and no replacement to buy. Send us the pieces. We reconstruct the geometry from the fragments and machine a new part, often stronger where the old one failed.

Broken Doesn't Mean Lost

Searching for help with a broken machine component mostly turns up machine-tool rebuilders and repair shops — useful if you want the whole machine overhauled, useless if what you actually need is one new part to replace the one in pieces on the bench. That single-part problem is what this service answers.

The good news: a broken part is still an excellent manufacturing reference. The fragments carry the bores, threads, profiles and mounting faces almost untouched, and the fracture itself tells us where the part was weakest. We measure the pieces, reassemble them digitally, reconstruct whatever material the break destroyed, and machine a new part — to the original geometry, or with the weak point fixed.

From Fragments to Finished Part

  • Send the pieces — all of them, unrepaired. Loose fragments measure better than a welded or glued reassembly. Photos first if shipping is slow; one known dimension lets us quote immediately.
  • We reconstruct the geometry. Fragments are measured on CMM or 3D scanned, aligned digitally, and the fracture-zone material rebuilt by engineering judgment. Reconstructed dimensions are flagged on the drawing.
  • We read the failure. A fatigue beach-mark, a bent shaft, an overload shear — the fracture pattern says whether this was a freak event or a design weakness that will break the next part too.
  • You approve, we machine. Original spec or reinforced version — your choice, both quoted. Breakdown jobs get express scheduling and courier shipping.

Common Breaks We Reproduce

Snapped shafts

Fatigue at the keyway or shoulder — the classic. Re-machined with proper radii, alloy upgrades available.

Stripped gears

Tooth profile recovered from undamaged teeth; harder material or surface treatment where wear was the cause.

Cracked housings

Cast housings reproduced as machined billet — stronger and porosity-free.

Broken brackets & arms

Bent or snapped levers and mounts, reconstructed to true geometry, not the deformed state.

Sheared pins & studs

Including non-standard threads and shoulders. See custom fasteners.

Cracked plastic parts

Machined or vacuum cast in engineering polymers — no original tooling needed.

Why did it break? Reproducing the part exactly is sometimes the wrong answer — if a sharp internal corner started the crack, the same corner will start the next one. When the fracture shows a design weakness we say so, and quote the reinforced version alongside the exact copy. Same fits, same function, more metal where it matters.

Repair vs Reproduce

RouteMakes sense whenLimits
Weld repairLarge part, simple break, low precisionDistortion, altered metallurgy; precision fits rarely survive
Sleeve / bush the damageLocal wear on an otherwise good partOne-time fix; underlying part keeps aging
Reproduce new (us)Precision part, repeat failure, or no spare existsLead time in days–weeks; one-off costs more than batch

If the part isn't broken yet — just unavailable — see discontinued parts made to order. And if the maker of the machine no longer exists at all, start at manufacturer out of business.

Frequently Asked Questions

+

Usually yes. Fragments carry nearly all the geometry — fits, threads, profiles — and the fracture faces tell us how it failed. We reassemble the pieces digitally, reconstruct any material lost at the break, and flag reconstructed dimensions on the drawing for your approval before machining.

+

Often, and we'll recommend it when the break shows a design weakness: a sharp internal corner that started the fatigue crack gets a radius, a cast part becomes machined billet, a plain steel becomes alloy or heat-treated. Same fit and function, more margin at the failure point.

+

Tell us it's a breakdown when you send photos — we prioritize the quote and the CAD reconstruction, and quote express machining plus courier shipping. Simple turned or milled parts can ship in days. Photos of the pieces with one known dimension are enough to start; the quote comes within 24 hours.

+

Don't — for measurement, loose pieces are better than a repaired part with weld distortion or glue gaps. Send the fragments as they are, and keep all of them if you can; even small chips from the fracture zone help us reconstruct the original geometry.
